Tiny House Suits Raccoon Family

- We were called out to investigate a situation where a mother raccoon and her babies were living inside a playhouse in a backyard. The playhouse was being used as a storage location for cushions over the winter. This mother raccoon must have taken one look at the playhouse and knew it was the perfect spot to raise her babies.
As you will see in the video, these babies were about 4-5 weeks old, which is quite old for this time of year. The video was taken on April 11th.
Please give this video of thumbs up if you enjoyed it!
We GET THEM OUT and KEEP THEM OUT.

Oh, this Mother raccoon had the perfect, cozy, little home for her family.
SHE DID I ALMOST CRIED FOR HR AND HER KIDS,
I have raccoon families every season in my backyard. I let them be. They leave and some return at night only. I have a young mother that returns and sleeps in the yard. Her own siblings pushed her away from food when she was younger, she is sweet and docile. She brought her own babies this past season and stayed for months. Babies grew up and mama returns a few times at night during the week. I also have opossums and their babies. Beautiful critters.
Do you feed the raccoons and opossums? I’ve never seen a real opossum, only on tv and in videos. Do keep an eye on your soffits and any possible entrance points to your house; you don’t want any animals living in your attic space as the damage costs can be considerable. Having said that, I applaud you for your kindness and your decision to share the land with the four-footed creatures.
I feed birds in my yard and I was delighted to see a squirrel coming by to have some peanuts. I leave a bowl of cat crunchies outside in a covered area along with a bowl of water for any hungry animal. I don’t know if it’s homeless cats or what eats it but it’s regularly cleaned out and I change the water frequently.
@@sharong8511 Hi Sharon. Yes, I do feed them all. There are burrows the opossums have dug over the years and both opossums and raccoons live in, separately from one another. The come and go all year round. Both have been caught inside my garage, the raccoons leave without a problem, but the opossums were young and they made themselves a bed and only left once they were ready. Both critters poop in one area, and oposums are very clean animals and will groom themselves steadily. I rescued a baby opossum that was attacked, her head and face was injured. Had her for 3 months, she healed and was ready to be wild. Both critters keep my yards free of bugs and clean up well. My mama raccoon is friendly only, the others are wild, they come, eat and leave every night. The opossums are friendly, they do not attack, they will show their teeth and hiss when scared. Some raccoons will attack when scared or protecting their babies. Always check the pouch of a dead opossum, there could be babies. Contact your local wildlife rehab. Thank you for your kind words.

So cute. Neat to be able to see them, but terrifying for them knowing predators can see them.
I would have just turned my playhouse into a raccoon house. No way I would have removed them!
I agree. At least let them stay until the babies are full grown
Same, it's a cute house now!
Totally agree! It was sad to see how frightened the mom became.
Yes, I felt very sad to see the momma and her babies ousted out of such a comfortable, safe place. If that were my property, I definitely would have let them stay at least until the babies were grown and able to care for themselves.
You all are wonderful caring, people. I would do the same. I'm so happy to see there are kind people left in this world. God prosper you all ❤️
One night we had a couple of raccoons come in through or cat door and they found a bag of powdered sugar there was powdered sugar in just about every room in the house if even looked like they slid down our banister. That must have been one wild party and we weren't invited.
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏽
Good thing there was no alcohol involved! Alcohol always makes for a "better" party, until the next day!
🦝😃
I always enjoy seeing the mom go back for the final inspection, always making sure that she's got em all. Great job & continued blessings to Gates fam. Thx
PLKEAS MAKE THE CLEAR BOXES BIGGER!!
It's cute how they always come back one last time to make sure there are no more babies left. It shows that they can't count so they have to come back and double check to be sure they're not leaving a baby behind.
It might be that they can count at least some (even bees can count up to 5 on different shapes - when tought which number will give them sugar) but not remember those numbers for any amount of time when actually counting and then needing to use that knowledge later.
It is one thing to exercise an abstract concept that gives benefit but entirely different one to form memories around something you dont understand.
Perhaps not the best analogy: you can read a number of any size, but you can hardly remember a 6 digit number. For them this 6 digit is simply 1 digit or less in reading and 0 in remembering.
Mama really wanted to get back into her cozy house!
Very cute. I love how the last little guy stood up on the side so momma could reach him easier. ❤
Do you also like how they now have no place to live. The cuteness just got you to click like.
@@justanotherguy469 Mother raccoons prepare more than one den site. They are not homeless. Stop being a Karen
IF I SAY IT IS THEN ITS TRUE. SILENCE❗@@amandabilger2235
I watched a mom raccoon leading her babies from the neighbor's yard, into mine, walk the tall privacy fence and then jump to the other neighbor's tree from the top of my fence. Three of her babies made the jump, but one wouldn't even try. She came back, chirped at it, showed it a couple more times how to do it but it was too afraid. She then collected the babies back into my yard and found a different path using the yard behind mine so they all could follow her. I was impressed by how she tried and solved the problem a different way.
I feed the feral cats in my area. I made nice insulated cat hotels for them and stacked them in my metal shed. They really do live in them, and most fare well there. One bitter winter a couple didn't make it, but most stay pretty healthy year round with the good food I feed them.
I was changing out the straw from the hotels one summer. I reached in and pulled out the old and put in new straw. My daughter had gotten them out of the shed for me so I didn't notice one hotel was a bit heavier. As I picked up this one cat hotel I noticed the weight and was putting it down to check it when a huge fluffy possum with teeth
>-----------THIS LONG-----------< slid down my legs, onto my shoes, and waddled into the shed. I had my hand in that hotel and it didn't try bite me. And it didn't run from me when it jumped out.
I knew there was one nearby. I saw it many times as I came in late at night from work for a few years. Same possum?🤷 I wonder if it was habituated to me from living so close and just paid little attention to me. I'd seen it eating the ferals' food many times. There are never babies around. Must be the dad of many though.
I did notice when my dog was still living that she never had a tick. Not one. The possum sat on a fence and watched Lucy bark at him like a fool dog at times when she was outside. Now I know that possums will eat thousands of ticks. So this guy has certainly earned his keep. He can have all the cat food he wants. I wonder how long he will live. The internet says with good nourishment and protection about 6 years. Either this isn't the original guy or he's pretty old now. Maybe 8 years. He's had good, well protected, accommodations. I will hate to lose him.
@rutykzuty I love your story about the cats and possum! I was right there with you, and didn't want it to end! Humans who are good to wildlife are *the best* kind of people. 💕✌️
We have possums, feral cats I have spayed and neutered and skunks they all live in somewhat harmony😂...we feed and love them all even the Stinky's
THANK You for All you do to help animals!! Many Blessings!! 👋🤗🦝🏡👍
I love listening to the sweet trill they make. I had a racoon for several years and the sound was of affection. Moved to the country and took her with me. She came and went at will then. She was a joy to have around. I love seeing you care for them without thinking of killing them. Bravo to you both!
Her trying to open the door made me laugh, so smart;))
You mean the play house?? I loved that part. She checked it a few times. Saying to herself. Wtf. They evicted me and my children !!!! And here I was paying my rent every month. Well I will have to move my family but I am not happy about this situation at all. So nice to see companies that care about the wildlife and reunite the family like it should be
@@sharonbrown6595 my favorite part also ❤
They are just so damn adorable I really feel bad for the moms before they come and get them because in the meantime they're thinking they just lost all their babies and you guys took them but it's a great story and I love what you guys do.... I just finished the videos it's kind of sad because she kept looking at the playhouse door cuz she's trying to figure out where to take all her babies I don't know why these people just didn't let her finish out letting them grow up in there since they weren't using the playhouse and and then locking it up it would be hard to be a mom with six babies and then not knowing what to do with them when you were in a safe place it's a hard world out there much less was six babies
Raccoons prepare at least two nests to hide the young, so the mother will simply move the babies to a new, ready-made place.
I know. I wish I did not watch this video. She is now homeless with 6 babies. Humans think everything belongs to them, even the Earth itself which God gave to all of us to share. She looked so comfortable in there.
I am giving this video a thumbs down because they acted as though they did something great for the animal when all they did was serve their human master which comes in the form of paper with green ink on it.
Sure, they will get likes because the babies are cute, but then again all that they wanted to do was profit from the animal.
@@justanotherguy469 Normally I would side with you. But as someone else said, "They establish more than 1 place in advance before they make 1 of the places a home. But I do agree with you that people should let them be and finish raising them there since they were only about 1 month to go before they were to start going everywhere with their mother and live all over the outdoors. They people weren't going to be using the Playhouse for a few more months anyhow. So they weren't hurting anything or anyone. But as Gates Wildlife Control says, they do go to 1 of their backup locations they established. But then again, what if their backup established locations had already been occupied or something had happened to them during the time she was raising her babies at the current location? Personally, if I owned the oproperty, I would have brought them food on the daily basis, and tamed up the mother to be friendly, and live on my property as long as she wanted until she dies, or decides she wants to move on. I wouldn't mind having them around. I am like "James Blackwood - Raccoon Whisperer: www.youtube.com/@JamesBlackwoodRaccoonWhisperer". I would also do the same with Foxes, or Opossums. Screw the Rats and Mice though. The Rats and Mice can just go somewhere else. I can't stand them. Destroys everything, food, clothing, the yard, the house, you name it. Foxes and Raccoons and Opossums can be trained, and even Potty-Trained.
@@JohnSwithen ❤ Mr. Blackwood would be upset.
@@justanotherguy469 Yes, I am so relieved that there are humans that think/feel the way you and I do.
I had a raccoon mom and her newborns living in my attic, the problem being my furnace was up there and I didn't want it destroyed. A local wildlife person told me that with the moms, you can buy raccoon male pheromones online, rub some on a rag or tennis ball and toss it up in the attic to frighten her so she would relocate her family. Otherwise it can be very expensive to take down drywall to remove them. I did the pheromone solution and it worked great. She moved her family the very next day. It's much less expensive than hiring someone to remove them physically
🦝 Great clear container.
Your the only smart one in this comment section that has not stated, oh just let them be, oh just leave them be. So like I mentioned before, that was a very smart 🤓 thing to do. 👍🏽
@@simmonssimmons4494 So in your backwards fucked up logic, where you think you are the superior species that gets to decide who lives and who dies, just because someone says "leave them be" (which IS the right thing to do) that automatically means they are wrong because you aren't hearing what you want to hear in your little false narrative world. Racoons do not have permanent dens. They find what they find, use it, then move on.
The poor mom must have been so scared and worried at first that they were going to hurt her babies. 🥺
Yeah, that girl is unprofessional, to scream like that.
@@solareclipse9379 i'd like to see you do what she does... easy to judge when you're not in the same situation. i think she did great

@@nottheone582 They are not as vicious as people think they are. I have bunch of raccoons come around my house. It's people who are judgmental.
@@Cechil55 your ignorance is showing. racoons can absolutely be vicious if you get between a mom and baby. they are territorial resource guarders.
Baby raccoons are too much cute ❤️
👍👍
next week the neighbor calls with raccoon problem
they essentially invited a racoon to come live in that playhouse, that made a nice den lol
What a challenge to move six babies that large overnight. Nature is amazing.
I'd just let them stay there.
Agree
Me too💕
Why? They cause problems and spread diseases. They are pest!
I would leave them there too, but there are heartless people like this family.
Me too
So sorry they had to be evicted🐾🐾🐾❤️♥️❤️❤️
Should have paid the rent on time then..
@@shaqyardie8105 LOL
Great ending, I bet mom was pissed, she probably never had such a nice place to stay in before with her babies. Great to see her come back and get them.
I go hiking in a Conservation and Recreation Area near my home and I've heard baby raccoons before and I wondered "What kind of animal makes that sound" now I know it was babies raccoons.
What great footage of Momma returning for her babies! Appreciate your service! Best wishes!
What service? Eviction of a mom with children?
I hope mama found a safe place to stay with friendly humans.
These r friendly humans
Exactly..what harm the humans did they pose..could have tolerated them till spring..they would have instinctively left then.
Wild animals can survive on their own without the help of humans. I'm sure they were fine.
@@kelly5198 They're one of the primary rabies carriers. Anyway it's a good practice to minimize exposure of these wild animals to human activities, for the sake of both parties.
@@kelly5198 it's just so mean they were evicted they would have left on their own, just for a little while longer see the stayed until they got a little bit older. :(
They are just beautiful! How cute would it be if they moved across the yard to the little red shed....,😂
I would just let them stay.
🦝💕
They would just evict them as well. Humans think they own the world. A mother with her babies.
Making it with plexiglass was a genius idea. Need to coat the inside of the glass with some anti fogging for the full baby raccoon escape show.
Yes we noticed that! This was our first time using the box but we have since purchased an anti fog product to use in future videos
@@gateswildlife Also put something soft around that plexi hole - it must be hurting the babies to have them hauled over the edge of it !
They're so calm. I feel like a cat would have been much angrier. Those babies didn't try to bite or anything - lucky for that.
Its cute how mom was trying to go back inside of the play house🧠 ( trying to open the door) before even trying to take her babies back🥰🤭. Awwww she was really comfortable inside this mini house. ❤ Thx for the video guys. See ya next time 🙏🏾
Right? Kept testing the door: "Why can't I get inside my house?" 😕

I felt sad for the babies being squashed in the box, I was feeling claustrophobic just watching it. I think i would of let them stay in the playhouse until they got bigger..

The baby box was quiet small they all squashed up
@@bhavnarana6779 and placing it up right made it a struggle for the Mom to get them out from 7: 28 through 11: 01
@@bhavnarana6779 quite* (not quiet) 🙄
@@msheart2 I think it took that long because she was making trips to relocate some of them in between
What they did was evict a mom with her babies. The cuteness just helped them to get likes. They could have just let her finish rearing her babies. They were not using the house. They profit from the animals and then kicked them out. Sounds like a group of people I know of.
watching for the raccoon's cuteness, I'm from Singapore so raccoons are non-existent here
I have 2 who come for the peanuts on my second floor balcony. They amaze me how they could climb with their little hands/
So now that you kicked them out. Where does this poor family go now?? I feel bad for them 😢
they always have a second spot.
Racoons lived there long before human came to the continent
@@rasimbot is this a serious comment? geez people are full on mental now. the raccoons will be fine. they don't cry and feel sorry for themselves like you. they adapt and get on with it. plus the reason there are so many raccoons is they thrive in a human-made urban environment.
@@Youtuube304s | I don't understand what you mean
Pretty sure they meant that the raccoons have lived so long in this area that they'll be fine when released, not that they shouldn't have been moved. Calm down.
Couldn’t the homeowner just enjoy the marvel of nature and let the family stay until the babies were older? 🙄
That's what I am think too
This homeowner was worried as he had two young kids that use the backyard. As you can see in the video, the mother raccoon charged towards us which could have been very dangerous for a young child.
@@gateswildlife it’s sad. Little kids shouldn’t be left in a backyard alone unsupervised. From the video the raccoons were in a plaything. The mother raccoon charged at you because you were messing with her babies. Otherwise she would have stayed away from you. Most wildlife avoid humans. Instead of teaching the kids about raccoons and exploring nature in the backyard, the homeowner teaches his kids to be intolerant towards wildlife. I volunteer at a wildlife rehabilitation place and the cruelty of mankind to animals is truly disgusting.
@@sk8ercaligirl Oh get off your high horse ..it's a play area for kids not a raccoon den.Always so easy to say what you would do when its other people's property involved.
We'll get Gates to transfer the racoons to your house next time..see how you like it.
Who the hell wants a dam 🦝 living in their house! You people are weird! I love to see how cute they are once they tear through vents air ducts and possibly attack your pets or kids!
you guys are awesome - smart Mama - great, comfy location!
The mom racoon stayed the whole day trying to get them out wow
That box is way too small for that many raccoons - they have to stand on top of each other. Not sure they can even breath in there.
Thank you for your concern. There are air vents on the front of the box and the lid of the box was left open for them! We made sure the box was completely humane before implementing it years ago.
Well I felt very sorry for the raccoon mum, where was she going to go with so many babies to worry about ? We all keep shoving the poor things out of our way when it is their planet too ! Makes me wonder who are the biggest nuisance ? Let's face it if we humans all died off, the planet could manage quite well without us !
Facts.
This planet was made for us humans, hence why God gave us dominion over every animal:
"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it..."-Gensis 1:26-28
We are created in the image of God, and since God is Spirit, that means we also have a spirit. We have a soul as well. The soul is our personality, it's our individuality, it's what makes us unique from one another. So when we humans die, our soul goes with our spirit. Whether to heaven or hell, because having the image of God means having a sovereign will to choose right or wrong, evil or Holiness, to be eternally with God or to be eternally separated from God.
But Animals only have a soul, so when they die, their soul dies with the body. Though animals do not gather in churches, read Bibles, understand parables, symbols, and riddles, nor build libraries to pass knowledge on to the next generation like us humans, they do still worship the creator like we do.
Testimony of Former Witchdoctor from Congo:
"As we were about to start our work [witchcraft], we heard over our heads a choir who sang a beautiful melody. Everyone remained calm to admire the beauty of the song. Its contents were:
'We move with ease.
We live in quiet and peace,
in the shade of large trees.
Who deserves the credit?
That all credit goes to God,
our Creator!
Whose? To God, the only Creator of heaven and earth.
To Him be praise and honor and glory forever!'
Our all eyes turned towards the place from whence the melody had charmed us. A surprise sigh escaped our four chests when we discovered the source of the voice. Perched on a branch, seven wild birds were the authors of this beautiful text (Psalm 150: 6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise You the LORD.). What had surprised me most was not that pigeons can sing, but rather the content of their song.
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, God speaks in different ways. But because I was blind, I could not see the hand of God behind the words spoken by these birds. But that day, I lost interest in magic. Something inside me urged me to think, "How the animals, the birds, they know the existence of a Creator God that we must honor, while I, who am a man, I do not know the Creator." I did not have the courage to continue my research. I went home and the others followed me.
On the way back, I decided to give up magic [witchcraft]. But the idea of dying young scared me. I had only a couple of decades. So I decided to serve [satan] again until I reach 70 years"-LISUNGI MBULA, "The Song of the Wild Pideons"

@@jenniferhebb9348 Exactly. Animals have just as much right to live on this planet as we do. They are not the ones destroying the planet. I really feel sad that people want to evict these beautiful animals when they are doing no harm. I would feel blessed if they used my shed.

Poor momma....
I have a whole crew of raccoons in my backyard and I love them. They don't get into my trash or make too much I mayhem. Lovely critters and very nice to have a little bit of wildlife right outside my window....
Watching Mom do her thing and the babies up close is amazing. Thank you for helping move them out without harming them.
Great idea for the see through box!!! U guys rock!
Except that no footage showed it from inside.
They needed a bigger box.
The mom was not sure of the new den site. She was trying to make possibility in the tine house it self. First time I saw mom took this much time in relocating her babies!
She was pretty confused - she knew where they were SUPPOSED to be, and the smells were still there - it was pretty sad watching her take so much time to find out where they actually were - she kept double checking, you could see she didn't accept the change at first - NO mine are inside the house !!!
The owners could have let the racoon family stay until they would have been old enough to move out.
Right? They were already at least 3 weeks old. Raccoon babies are weaned & eating solid foods, becoming independent around 9-12 weeks.
Let them have their cozy little house for 6-9 weeks more & they'll all leave. Homeowner wants them out right now! Sheesh. Poor mamma raccoon.
And it’s there own fault for leaving the door open and unlocked!
Lol or maybe his daughter wants use of her treehouse
The raccoon wasn't paying rent
She’s tired but she’s making certain she has them all. Wish I could see where they go.
Poor things. Just trying to live their life like everyone else. We have encroached on their environment so much, that they have no place to go. ❤️ 🦝
You mean they come in to places like this because its easy access to free food? They aren't as encroached on as you think they are.
😔
Trisha Ferreira you like others are so brainwashed if you think living in Toronto is encroached on their environment, they move in for easy access to food, and fyi you’re pushing for pack and stacks for humans, we are also part of nature
Yes it’s very sad. Cruel evicting them like that. What an amazing mother and what a selfish heartless race we’ve become!
why are they more entitled to this space than humans or any other animal?
It would be funny if when you guys came back, she was in the box with them. she would be saying this place is smaller than the other one but it'll work.
That does happen from time to time! You can witness that happening in our other TH-cam video called 'The Perfect Home For a Trash Panda'
Love those little faces, how anyone can see them as vermin is beyond me.
I agree Diane Knight. 👍
I just adore raccoons ❤❤❤
They're cute but they can be some vicious little creatures for sure. People don't like them because they're not only invasive but they will attack other animals and go through people's trash bins and make a mess. There was one that attacked my brothers little puppy one time while she was eating Looks can be deceiving. It's best to remove them to a safer environment than by anywhere near your home.
I like the new box!! Thanks for another video 🥰
Awww, they are so unbearably cute with their little mask of Zorro mugs. How cute! 😍🥰🤗🦝🦝🦝
I love that shot of the mother raccoon and her babies walking away in the introduction. It’s similar to what I saw one night when I was letting the cat inside. Our next door neighbours have a huge cedar tree in their backyard and there used to be a garden shed underneath it; the shed was raised off the ground and made a perfect nursery for raccoons. As I was waiting for the cat to come up the stairs I saw what looked like a huge cat come around the corner of the neighbour’s house, only to see the ringed tail and realize it was a very large raccoon. A few seconds went by, then here came five miniature raccoons. (I say mini but only in comparison to their mom.) It was the cutest sight, their little butts with tiny tails following Mom in single file. 🥰😁
It's all cute until you save them, they return to come tear up your shingles and leave excrement everywhere
I once came across two raccoons in a large garbage bin. They couldn't get out because the garbage wasn't high enough for them. I carefully placed a large cardboard box in with them, then moved twenty feet away. First one, then the second raccoon climbed up and away.
Both raccoons and opossums typically poop in one area where they spend their time. Opossums are a very clean animal where grooming is active. Both of these critters will dig in yards and make a mess, this is their search for food, and both will rid your yard of insects and ticks. Wildlife.
@@SunnySouthernCA the amount of parasites, especially worms that originaTe from raccoon latrines and infect everything in contact with it makes them a deadly nuisance to both humans and other wildlife.
@@Bog8686 That statement is exaggerated. All wildlife and even our pets can contract bacteria that can cause illnesses. Cleaning the cat box can cause illnesses. Taking precautions with any fecal matter is necessary. Not all wildlife nor family pets are carrying diseases.
❤ - tearing-up watching this mom raccoon care for her babies.
They made them homeless, they were not exactly living in their main house so don't understand why remove them from the play house. The litter were big enough so eventually would have left anyways. Can't imagine the anxiety of a mother when she was removed .
I know.. it made no sense to pay people to remove them. Poor raccoons.
they didn't make them homeless, raccoons usually have multiple den sites. you're projecting your human feelings on an animal.
She was sniffing and crawling all over that door trying to get in! She was so surprised to see them, she wasn’t sure what that box was. Her reaching inside super quick to grab them was quite the site! I would have let her stay as well from one mama to another.
I really doubt that, lol. An aggressive mama raccoon in a kids playhouse in your yard?
Love seeing how gentle she was with her babies.
This is eviction gone horribly wrong. All of the residents children were forcefully captured then publically humiliated. Luckily their mother narrowly escaped capture and was able to return and break her children out later that night. 😝
I'd been in heaven if mine set up in the mini house like that. Set up cams & watch them grow up 🥺
I agree. Some people just don't have a heart.
Coming home and finding you have been evicted and in the middle of a road... 😢
She had the perfect hide out..lol.. Animals are funny!
I love raccoons...they have such healthful fluffy babies. THEIR MAMA WIL RESCUE ALL 6 BABIES IN THE DARK. Have a good life Everyone. She sure chose a good place to fave her babies.
Awe poor momma got evicted. So sad to watch. What a traumatic experience for them.
weird opening shot, looks like a tv show about living in the suburbs
They are so cute. I hope they find a Home someplace that’s as lovely as that one.
mom is like guys aww come on this is the perfect vacation home. I love trash pandas hehehe so cute, i am glad the mom has all her babies and finds a new vacation home.
Precious, little family ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Once when I was pregnant, I had a dream that I was a momma raccoon with a bunch of babies clinging to me. I dropped one as I ran through the bushes and I was in a panic to run back and get it. I already had three small children and I was pregnant with number four, so it was totally my subconscious telling me to be careful and to not leave my human baby behind lol.
Now imagine if you were evicted the way these heartless humans did to this mother and her children. What would you do? The cuteness of the babies did enable likes on the video though.
@@justanotherguy469cut with the bullshit, the home owner wanted those wild animals out of his property and that's the end of the story.
@@ndjibukabengele973 Inhumane human. God gave all of us the earth. Perhaps those animals want their human-infested land back. You cut the bullshit. Do you think God made the world just for you? Do you think man has the final say on all things?
These racoons are so cute and intelligent!!!
“We can end it.” 😂
Why remove them from the playhouse, it wasn’t being used.
Right. I would of turned it into a temporary racoon house for the mother to raise her babies in, and then put a bunch of soft blankets inside with some food and water for them, and maybe even a tiny space heater if it got too cold at night.
They'd be leaving soon, let them be!
Doesn't mean they won't pose a threat to the kids in the back yard
Because it’s their job to remove them. If the homeowner wants them out then they’ve decided to have them removed one way or another. Not all places do humane rescues. This is the best deal the animals are going to get.
Racoons are a primary carrier of rabies. Many people don’t care to take the risk. They also tend to damage property as well and there are people who don’t care for that.
When I grew up people would just put out antifreeze. It’s a clear liquid that is tasteless and animals will drink it thinking it’s water. Which ends up killing them because it’s poisonous.
On this occasion I think I agree. They would be gone anyway in a few more weeks!
Why not just let them stay. 😭❤️
That's what I think, too. They weren't hurting anything
I would and they will leave on their own.
@@milesjohnson5487 Coon's are clean Animal's
@@edwardwebster8427 🤣🤣🤣 As someone in this exact business. Not entirely . Also just like Miles said. The smell on lots of raccoon feces in one place is nauseating
@@RollReacts Ok well I live in the country so have them all over
It’s cool how the mom comes back to make sure she have all of her cubs
The little noises they make are so extremely cute sounding🥰
Love the work your doing showing us the process. Keep up the technical advancements!
So sweet! Bless your kind heart! 💖💖
What was the bright pink thing in the bag of babies?
Haha I love how the racoon on their logo looks so mean.
Big freakin' deal. Everyone cries when wildlife comes for a short visit. Let the mother stay already.
Masterfully done as always! Keep up the fantastic work!
Haha, now the neighbor has raccoons!
You guys do a great job at keeping family's together ! 🦝️🦝️🦝️
I would have let them stay put? Or is it just me?
Naw it's just you.
No, it isn’t just you. I feel the same way!
The Plexiglas case is fantastic!
They are so adorable to look at.
Bloody great little channel you have here ….., who’s idea was it to set up for TH-cam? ….Dad or daughter?…cheers from the raccoon-less U.K. ..
Thank you David. Brad Gates started the TH-cam channel many years ago before Cassandra got involved with the company. The two of them worked together to make it what it is today!
What was the pink thing in the bag?
I swear I came here to ask the same question 👀🤔
Wondering the exact same thing!
looks like insulation that could be leftover from a different rescue they did
Qué bonitas criaturas los mapaches!!!
the perfect mom and she was not agressive when you took away the pillows.... she just stayed calm and looked at you
She found such a nice home… pity she couldn’t stay, but squatting rights don’t come with cute….
If the sun hits that Plexiglass won't the babies bake.? Like leaving a dog in a closed car. I know it's cold there but still could be a problem. Please tell me I'm wrong.
Seems like they need to put some air holes in it or maybe there are, but not visible.
Hi Karen, thank you for your concern. We are aware of the plexiglass being an issue in direct sun. We won't be using this box once it is warmer in Ontario and will never leave the box in the direct sunlight. This box was protected by the shelter of the playhouse and it was only 0 degrees out that day.
@@gateswildlife Thanks for putting my mind at ease. I figured you probably were aware.
That was probably a first year young mother. I had a similar experience In my attic, when she saw lights on her and Babies this size they moved out on their own.
wow, I'm glad you guys were able to get the kids out. Canada must really have a racoon issue. I know we've had them around here in Boise, Idaho, but not like this!
Why the hell can’t the homeowner just let the mama raccoon raise her babies and unused playpen for the children for a few weeks I really don’t understand someone explain this to me?
This homeowner was worried as he had two young kids that use the backyard. As you can see in the video, the mother raccoon charged towards us which could have been very dangerous for a young child. There is also a disease associated with raccoon feces that can be fatal for humans. It is extremely dangerous for young children to be playing so close to a family of raccoons.
one of your best videos yet!!!
Another wonderful job, thank you!!
Make sure you patent that clear box, what a great idea. Love your work. I have the entire family watching now.
where's the conclusion?
